Abstract

A display device includes a liquid crystal display panel having a display region, pixels provided in the display region and arranged in a matrix (row-column configuration) in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction, and a pixel gradation corrector correcting a gradation value of a first pixel in accordance with gradation values of second pixels adjacent to the first pixel, the pixel gradation corrector multiplying a value indicating sensitivity with which the first pixel is influenced by the second pixels and a value indicating strength of influence that the second pixels exert on the first pixel together, and subtracting the multiplied value from an input gradation value of the first pixel to calculate an output gradation value to the first pixel.
